JD.com’s Chinese New Year Grand Promotion Comes with Huge Carbon Reduction
by Xiaoqian Han
The day before the traditional “Small New Year’s Day” (7 days before Chinese New Year’s Day, which is also called “Big New Year’s Day”), a total of 602 million items had been sold on JD.com by 5 PM on January 23. Relying on an efficient supply chain, JD.com will deliver during the Spring Festival holidays for the tenth consecutive year. At the same time, JD.com has also become the exclusive interactive partner of China Media Group (CMG) 2022 Spring Festival TV Gala.
The company has also embarked on a green “Spring Festival Delivery” program this year. With the assistance of JD’s green supply chain infrastructure and carbon reduction technology, the average package can reduce carbon emissions by 400 grams through green packaging measures.
“JD.com is giving full play to its effectiveness in building green and low-carbon production and lifestyle, and using digital technology to further enhance New Year’s goods efficiency during the Spring Festival delivering period,” said Lijun Xin, CEO of JD Retail. “Meanwhile, the carbon emissions in warehousing, computing, packaging, transportation, and consumption are greatly reduced.”
By the end of December 2021, 12 of JD’s Asia No. 1 intelligent logistics parks among a total of over 40 have been equipped with photovoltaic generation systems, that can generate power of 100 MW. The green power has been used to support the operations of logistics parks and charge electric delivery vehicles.
JD Logistics has put 20,000 new energy vehicles into use in more than 50 cities across the country, and all of JD Logistics’ self-owned delivery vehicles in Beijing have been replaced with new energy ones. This move means that about 400,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions will be reduced each year, which is equivalent of the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by 20 million trees each year.
Moreover, through a series of “green packaging” measures such as simplifying the packaging process, using recycled packaging and keeping original packing, each item can reduce emissions by an average of 400 grams.
This year’s JD.com Chinese New Year Grand Promotion has more and more energy-saving products. For example, sales of electronic firecrackers continued to boom. In the first 10 days of the Promotion, sales of electronic firecrackers increased nearly 40% year-on-year. And, also in the first 10 days, the number of energy-saving LED lamps sold exceeded 1.72 million.
From the Chinese New Year Grand Promotion to today, the number of orders received by JD.com’s “trade in” service increased by five times compared with the same period last year. In the past one year, the first-class energy-efficient air conditioners, refrigerators, and TVs sold by JD.com can reduce nearly 2 million tons of carbon emissions by saving electricity.

JD Logistics Awarded the World’s First ISO14068 Carbon Neutrality Certificate for On-demand Delivery Service
JD Logistics (also known as Jingdong Logistics) recently announced that it has been awarded the world’s first ISO14068 carbon neutrality certificate for on-demand delivery service by Bureau Veritas, a global leader in testing, inspection, and certification. The certificate comes as a result of JD Logistics’ ongoing commitment to sustainability in supply chain and logistics operations.
JD Logistics has been providing on-demand delivery services for a global technology company since 2022 and has become the brand’s first logistics service provider in China to provide in-dependent, full-lifecycle carbon neutral services at the order-level. Through this partnership, JD Logistics track supply chain carbon footprints and implements precise carbon reduction technologies based on data analysis. JD Logistics has pledged to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 for the project, while assisting its partners in reaching “Carbon Emission Decoupling” goals for on-demand retail services.
ISO 14068 provides principles, requirements, and guidance for achieving and demonstrating carbon neutrality. According to the International Organization for Standardization, this standard focuses on quantifying, reducing, and offsetting carbon emissions, with an emphasis on reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within the value chain before relying on offsets. It ensures that carbon neutrality efforts are scientifically valid, transparent, and contribute to sustainable development., and communicated transparently.
In 2023, JD Logistics launched its in-house developed Supply Chain Emission Management Platform (SCEMP), which is verified to track over 140 types of carbon emission factors specific to road transportation in China. SCEMP accurately calculates carbon emissions based on real-time transportation routes, providing unmatched precision. To date, SCEMP has supported over 25 leading enterprises across industries such as electronics, apparel, beauty, auto, food, and chemicals, calculating over six million orders and helping partners to reduce over 300 tons of carbon dioxide.
SCEMP also plays a vital role in JD.com’s retail and ecommerce business. The company’s “Green Impact Initiative” leverages SCEMP to offer a mechanism that can monitor, report, verify, and create value for customers. For instance, Apple and Logitech have participated in this initiative to offer customers “carbon reduce privilege” products. When customers purchase these labeled items on JD’s app, they can earn rewards such as coupons and merchandise.
Through its innovative solutions and commitment to sustainability, JD Logistics continues to lead the way in reducing carbon emissions across the logistics industry. The company’s dedication to carbon neutrality not only supports its own environmental goals but also empowers its partners to contribute to a more sustainable future.
